"Great homemade yeast rolls or bread. It's even good for cinammon rolls. Very easy and turns out great every time. This is an old, old family recipe."

ingredients

1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast, dissolved in
¹⁄₂ cup very warm water
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
¹⁄₂ cup lard (or Crisco)
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
6 cups bread flour or 6 cups all-purpose flour

directions

Put Crisco, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Pour in boiling water and stir until dissolved.
Add cold water.
Pour in yeast and stir in 6 cups flour until well mixed. (I use my KitchenAid mixer with the bread hook--very easy.)
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
Turn out onto floured surface and knead 5 minutes. Divide for 2 loaves of bread or roll out and cut for rolls.
